Dear friends,
This new update brings you Calendar of astronomy events for 2016, with automatic alerts for global events, ISS passes and iridium flares.
Star Walk now supports native resolution of iPad Pro. We have also fixed iPhone 6s/6s+ object selection bug and few other bugs connected with stable work of the app.
We know we can be sometimes slow with our updates although your supportive reviews and letters give us motivation to move forwards. Please feel free to share the love on the App Store/Facebook/Twitter. We promise we read every note and will do our best to be responsive.
Truthfully yours,
Team Star Walk

1) It is likely that ISON is not going to be the comet of the century. Nevertheless, we decided not to remove it from the app.
2) You can now turn on Picture caching in the Star Walk Settings. When caching is ON it will download the content only once and store it on your device. However when caching is OFF it will save you some space on your device.
3) Minor adjustments in texts and tables in Info to make them more readable.
4) Chinese localization improved.

My fellow Stargazer,
I think I might have made a couple mistakes in the code when I digressed in careless dreaming about distant galaxies. Ah, Andromeda Galaxy... In any case, if your app is behaving funny, feel free to download the update.
Fixed bugs:
- Misinterpreting the Calendar dates for astronomical events in different Time Zones
- Moon Phases for Sky Live window
- Minor bugs fixing
Yours truly,
Star walk developer.

My dearest Stargazer,
It's been awhile since we’ve talked, but I am happy to catch a moment and thank you for your letter. It was really kind of you to let me know that you are there and that you care. It almost made me feel like I was Santa in my own little way, making stargazing wishes come true. After careful consideration, I decided to fulfill the following wishes:
- Ultimate Calendar of the most important stargazing delights, it will tell you what’s up and even set an alarm
- Comet tracking (Halley, ISON, PANSTARRS, and Lemmon)
- Iridium flares
- Constellation artwork on/off
I know it's not much, but I'm hoping you will accept this as a small token of my gratitude and belief in future friendship. I have a lot more work to do, so I guess I better go get to it. And I am always happy to chat on Facebook and Twitter!
Best of stargazing,
Touched Star Walk Developer

My Dear Fellow Stargazer,
This update will make your app not crash (if it did). I also added a 3D model of the Newton satellite and fixed the bug with the Arabic language.
I have thought a good deal about what to add to this magnificent app of ours and well, to tell you the truth, it appears as though Star Walk is perfect. My magnum opus is complete. What to do, what to do... If you have any idea what it is lacking please - I beg you - tell me. Because I really don’t know. I always read AppStore user reviews and letters in
[email protected] mailbox, not to mention Facebook and Twitter, where I spend way too much time.
Sincerely,
Brooding Star Walk Developer.
